LEAVING YOUR JOB

It’s time to move on to another role. You should make sure you leave on the best possible terms with your current employer. You may consider the following guides:

Make sure you have already secured the employment contract before handling your notice.

Be aware of a possible counter offer. However you should remain confident once you have decided to move on.

When handing in your notice, do your best to continue to work to the same high standard and to finish your remaining work as well as to leave a comprehensive handover to your replacement.

Do not burn the bridges. Leave on good terms and keep your frustrations to yourself. As a gesture of professional good will, you could even offer to stay on an extra week to help manage the work load/train a replacement.

Do not talk negatively about the company. Find a polite way to explain why you left. If you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all.
